Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lesson 1: (Level One)

The basics of gardening.
The newly enroled student shall be presented with his/her tools: a pair of leather gloves for handling spiky plants, a shovel with which to plant, a hoe to airate the dirt, and a watering can.
The newly enroled student shall then learn to use these tools properly.
The newly enroled student's new knowledge shall then be tested with a challenge.

Lesson 2: (Level 2)

More in-depth.
The student shall begin to get 'personal' with the plants.
They shall learn the basics of the plant's cells and what each part of those cells does and what ingredients go in to preforming photosynthesis.
They shall learn which plants are suited to which enviroment, what it is about that enviroment and that plant that make them go so well with each other, and why the acidity level of the ground a student is about to plant a specimen in is important.
The studen'ts knowledge shall be tested with a written exam.

Lesson 3: (Level 3)

The student shall learn about each classifying family of plants, and key parts of the plants in that family that clearly point out which family that plant belongs to.
The student shall learn about the most common plants of each family.
The student shall learn about the most endangered species of plants, why that plant is endangered, where it was originally, and what it is about that plant that will make it such a loss if it ever does die out.
The student shall have a basic classifying test, encompassing pointing out which plant (of five possible choices) is not in the same family as the others.

Lesson 4: (Level 4)

Although this lesson may seem to have needed to be learned sooner: the student shall learn about the poisonous plants, with examples. (Do not worry: these specimen are locked in a cubbord beneath Keena's bed desk and so are unaccessable to lower-level students.
The students shall learn about what properties of the plant makes the plant poisonous.
The students shall learn how to use these poisons for their own purposes, whether it be to neautralize the poison and create a medical suppliment or harness the poison.
This lesson shall mostly cover ricinus communis, a nasty little bugger that is poisonous to eat and can be very dangerous. The students will not be allowed to get there hands on these, and will instead have to be contented with viewing pictures covetly guarded by Keena.
The student shall be given a classifying test as well as a challenge to create both a poison and a medicine. The student shall be allowed to leave only with the knowledge, for the plants will then be locked back into Keena's cubbord.

Lesson 5: (Level 5)

The student shall learn about the rumored magical properties of the rarer plants.
The details of this course shall remain a mystery, for only Keena and the Intructor of the School of Magic know of these properties for sure.

Chi sat beside a large willow tree at the entrance to the school, twiddling her thumbs and waiting for people to arrive who she could (possibly) lure into learning about the great world of plants... and what you can do with those plants. Her eyes wandered off towards the rustling leaves of the tree above, wondering if anyone would be really interested enough in what she had to offer, and dedicated enough, to finally learn about plant's magical properties. She had used one of her special, more shiny pink ribbons in her hair in an attempt to impress the first-time students.

She had locked Keena in her cubbord under her desk in order to avoid scaring off any first-time students.

Chi's eyes widened and she giggled happily at the arrival of a new student. She stood, her face sober, dipping into a graceful curtsy. "Hello, my name is Chi. Welcome to our school." She rose quickly, beaming from ear to ear now that formalities were over.

The young girl held up a finger and muttered quickly, "I'll be right back!" She ran to her office, her natural gracefullness slightly inhibitied by her frantic pace, and came out holding a large book and a pen. The book was leatherbound, "Satoris Pergulae" engraved in gold on the cover. The pages inside were empty, soon to be filled with students. The pen obviously belonged to Chi, not the school; it was the same cream as her dress, with a pink flower pattern. She flipped open the book and began to print in a flowing cursive...

Name: Kadri
Gender: Female
Race: Human Bear-girl
Level: NA
Report Card:
- Level 1: NA
- Level 2: NA
- Level 3: NA
- Level 4: NA
- Level 5: NA

She giggled and grasped Kadri's hand in her own. "I'm sure this will be tons of fun!"

Was today too good to be true?

Chi turned, a girl's voice reaching her ears. "Hello!" She dipped into a second curtsy, and took a few quick steps forwards to greet the new potential student. She noted that this girl was a little older than herself, and a slight blush reached her cheeks at the prospect of teaching the older girl. "My name is Chi, may I ask yours?" She already had the book out, and was flipped to a brand new page to write the new girl's information on.

"This is Kadri!" Chi motioned to the bear-girl behind her.

Kadri squealed, pleased to be already an official student. When she noticed Heather, she waved shyly. "Hi, Heather..." She muttered waving weakly. "I think I've meet you before..." Kadri always felt and acted shy when she was saying a 'fact' she wasn't sure was true.

"Are you joinning us, Heather?" Kadri asked friendly. She was eager to get started, and it'd be even more fun if someone else was with her. Chi was already great, though.

((Aww...I feel so proud to have Kadri's head in the students section. :'D))

Kadri grinned. Yes! She excitedly turned to Chi and began talking, "So were do we start? I've done some gardening, and Jeshi teaches science part-time so I sit in on some of her classes and I was there for a plant unit, but nothing super-detailed. I guess we start with lesson one? Let's go!" She cheered, talking a little fast.
